Summary: "Covering a decade of his art practice, this is the first monograph devoted to Lahore-based artist Fahd Burki. Though conceptually rigorous, formally exact and precisely executed, Burki's paintings, drawings and sculptures insist on ambiguity. Whether narrative scenes or flattened icons, his images often lack a background; without a specific cultural frame or spatial context to help located them, they hover in an atopia or, rather, a dystopia of infinite reference, outside of time and history"--Page 4 of cover.
